Some may remember this photo above from a past post titled "Who Says Mallards Don't Nest in Trees?". I was pleasantly surprised earlier this week when I received the February issue of Virginia Wildlife Magazine and learned that this photo was selected and published as the "Image of the Month".
Virginia Wildlife Magazine has been published by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries for over seven decades. This magazine, for as long as I can remember, was the one magazine that always came to our house. I can remember as a child flipping through the pages just to see the stunning photos; now it's a part of my household.
While I still enjoy the great photography it contains, I enjoy reading the great articles contained inside each issue. It's dedicated to the conservation of Virginia's wildlife and natural resources. In addition, the magazine covers a variety of information on subjects like hunting, fishing, hiking, photography, birding, education and heritage. To say the least, I'm honored to have one of my photos published in this fine magazine.

Hi Alan, Thanks for visiting my blog. Hope you come back often. I am enjoying yours... I am a 'rookie' birder--and can use all the help I can get. Glad I found you!!!
Congrats on getting published. How special is that!!!! I was born and raised in VA --but in the southwest corner!!!
Congrats again.
Betsy
What a great honor. This was a magazine that I grew up with as well. At the time, very few of my parents subscriptions interested me, but I read this one. Congratulations!
Congratulations! Great and interesting photo. Thanks for stopping by.
Congrats Alan!! I'm swinging by from "my bird tales". A very deserving photo! I'm off to look around here.
Thanks everyone for the kind comments. It was truly an honor to be selected.
Betsy, you’re welcome. I enjoyed visiting your blog. Thanks for stopping by mine. It’s nice to meet another Virginia native.
Les, somehow I figured you would be familiar with this magazine. When I moved out and got married dad would save me his copy once he had finished reading it. After a while, I began getting my own subscription.
Good Acres, you’re welcome. Thanks for stopping by mine.
Eve, thank you. Glad you stopped by.
